In "The Stage Is Set... for Murder!", Batman steps into the spotlight during a modern-dress staging of Macbeth, where the line between performance and peril blurs as he races to unmask a killer among the cast. Written by Denny O'Neil with art by Irv Novick and Dick Giordano, this 1972 tale blends Shakespearean drama with noir suspense, all framed by a rare editorial note on the price of DC Comics. The haunting cover by Bernie Wrightson captures the tension perfectly.
